Devastating for the Raiders. First winning season since 2002 and Carr breaks his leg the first time he gets hit in the game.

Beware the pack if they get in, AR is easily the best in the league when on form and he is a solutely flying now.

Easily Stew? I'd say Brady might disagree.

Out for 6-8 weeks.

McGloin to step up???

Gonna be tough. McGloin is a career back up. He's Confident (he made 2 clutch throws when he came in v Colts) but Carr is streets ahead with better accuracy and a stronger arm plus the 'x' factor.

Have to rely on run and D from here.

I love both teams and lived in both areas but right now I would take AR even over Brady.

Age might be a concern for some!

Rodgers is a more complete player. Sneaky athletic and his rushing stats support that. Brady while great has a weaker arm than Rodgers too. I think physically Rodgers is in another class but Brady makes up for most of it with his preparation and mind. Rodgers' career stat line is mind blowing, Madden numbers.

Peak Rodgers > Peak Brady.

Rodgers would have five or six w/o s if he was with the Pats and had Belichek as his coach, MCCarthy is useless as a play caller and a lot of packet fans wanted him gone years ago.

Yis are probably bored of me on this subject

But........

Rodgers has 36 TD 7 INT with *no* running game, Rodgers was in the running to be the top rusher ffs before Montgomerys big game v the Bears

Clemson crushed Ohio State last night while Bama spotted Washington a TD and then preceded to smother them. Probably the best defense college football has ever seen.

Clemson has improved to become the team their preseason hype said they were but their season nearly began with a loss to Auburn and it's probably going to end with a loss to Alabama.

Saw a remarkable stat before last night's game that Rodgers had the worst completion percentage of any QB in the NFL (minimum 10 attempts) over the previous 16 regular season games.  Quite a long run of poor form from an exceptional player

It's bizarre that pretty much since this stat Rodgers has played lights out football. As great as he is though I'd still take Brady in his prime (just).

Hard to listen to some of the dung being spouted on here...
Rodgers has won THREE f**king playoff games from the super bowl season in 2010... 3!
Of course he's playing well now, no disputing that, but to even put him in the same sentence as Brady is absurd..
